Yale School of Medicine Fast Facts

School Info

This is an exciting time in the history of medicine and an exciting time to be at Yale, where you will find a commitment to excellence that defines everything we do and establishes this School as a national and international leader in research, education, and patient care. Through our admissions process, we are seeking to enroll a talented and diverse class of students from every segment of modern society men and women who have the maturity, intelligence, energy, and compassion to grow into the kind of physician-leaders we strive to educate.

Curriculum

The educational program is composed pre-clinical and clinical segments, each two-years in duration, and provides opportunities for students to master the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to become accomplished and creative physicians with outstanding clinical skills (figure 1). Throughout the four years is an emphasis on three interrelated themes (figure 2): a rigorous core scientific and clinical curriculum (the science), a comprehensive clinical skill-building program (the art) and opportunities to engage in complex clinical reasoning (medical-decision-making).
